Nick Gillespie: Mama-said-you’re-dangerous

The Post’s Style & Arts section turns its lens on Reason magazine and those crazy libertarians.

    Four minutes into Reason magazine’s monthly bash at the Big Hunt lounge, and every Libertarian-as-Bacchus fantasy you’ve entertained plays out before your widening eyes.

    Nick Gillespie, the leather-jacketed, Mama-said-you’re-dangerous editor of the political rag peers at you intently. “What do you need?” he asks. “Do you need a drink? A cigarette?”

    A stranger reaches out to knead your shoulders. Maybe what you need is a relaxing back rub.

    My, is that cloying smell in the stairwell . . . marijuana?

Then, cue the porn music and it’s a scene just like this one out of Zoolander.
